From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

              Not anymore
GIMP ≠ GNOME by a fucking mile
GTK isn't from GNOME either

What do you mean "not anymore"? You can't rewrite history... The G in GTK comes from GIMP. It was formerly called GIMP ToolKit.

I was replying to the comment thread suggesting they should switch to Qt.

Ah, well you probably should've replied to the root then.

By not anymore, I precisely mean that it's not "GIMP ToolKit" anymore, it's just GTK with no meaning at all.
